Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

      We can set up an equation and solve. Let x be hours that have passed, the answer to our question.

-7 = 8 -5x         - Created equation

-15 = -5x             - Subtract -8 from both sides

3 = x                     - Divide both sides of the equation by -5

      In 3 hours the temperature will be -7°.
